Re: Women in Islam
There is nothing called Rights-Granted-to-beat-wife! Period… Islam has asked its believers to respect wives, mothers, daughters, sisters in short women in every possible manner… Yes there are certain Molvies who think that beating wives is kind a farz ibadat… but nothing like that has been mentioned in Quran or Hadees, if you have come across something like this, then please share it here…
It is true that women shouldn’t take long journey without a legal male companion… but that doesn’t make her non-believer!!!
a) It is always best to have spending with mutual consent, any house hold not practicing this ultimately fell apart… Islam being the complete code of conduct, is telling you that, the best practice for the women is to spend money with the consent of the Man (and vice versa), her partner…doesn’t matter how good the intentions are, it should be in the knowledge of the man!!!
Islam being a divine and complete religion minimize the risks from its root… the above is one of those… i leave it to you to think on the scenarios where women do spend money without telling her husband and its consequences, i also urge you to have a detail research on it…
b) Islam is not all about praying and fasting… Praying and fasting is just there to discipline the person, Ibadaat = pray is not only nafal, it is in every action performed by the human in the name of Allah for the betterment of the society and as per guidelines of Quran , now if the women remain busy with her praying nafl and fasting would she had enough time to look after her house-hold ???there would be risk for her to loose it.. but yes if she can manage then it is best practice… as you maybe aware of the fact that house-hold is not just like any job, it is one of the toughest!!!
again a task for you, try to search if a women is busy all day praying and fasting.. and that is without the consent of her husband!!! doesn’t matter what religion she follows… what would be the consequences??? and/or look at it from different view point, how about a man who just pray extra nafal and fast every now and then??? again you would see the importance of mutual consent here…
The Emphasis of Islam is on keeping the balance in every aspect of the life… and Islam prohibits each and every action which breaks the balance.
Rest 'll try to reply later
